animation of the body he concluded
that the unfortunate man had been
dead about IL hours. Nothing could
be found on the premises to indicate sui.

because he had attempted to kill himself
with pen-knife once while Intoxicated.
Empty bottles were found and there were
other evidences as well as testimony show
ing that the victim had been ON pro
longed debauch, so no post norton eX-
animation was thought necessary. A tele-
gram was sent to Mrs. Montmarquette at
Montreal, who had not lived with her
husband for several years, but no re
Spouse was received. Modification had
set in so rapidly that the remains were

SPRINGFIELD DAY.
Grand Jubilee of Champion City Manufnc
tur.rs at jackson. Ohio, Last Saturday.

Grand Jubilee of Champion City Manufac
/ tursrs at jackson. Ohio. Last Saturday.
Jackson, Ohio. had one of the greatest
days in its history last Saturday, May l4th.
For some time. Mr.. J. B. Howe, of that
city. who is agent for number of Spring.
field manufacturing firms, conceived the
/ idea of having grand celebration, making
/ the implements manufactured in this city
the principal feature of the parade. The
affair came off last Saturday, according to
arrange sment. Jackson was fnil of people
from all parts of Jackson county and sur
rounding country. drawn thither not only
by the announcements of the Champion
City parade, but also by Wallace's circus,
announced for that day.
Springfield readers will be more particIl-
larry interested in those features ot the Gel
ebration comprising distinciiyely goods of
Springfield manufacture. AScyeryone VIII
remember last Saturday was a perfect day
for such All occasion. About | O'Clock y.
m. the procession of agricultural imple-
mentS started over the streets of Jackson,
headed by marshal OF the day on horse
back. who was one OF JacksOn's principal
business men. Next followed the repre-
sentatives of the manufacturing concerns.
for which Mr.. j. b. Howe is agent, fol-
lowed by citizens Of Jackson in carriages.
The Springfield Engine 4 Tresher Co.
came next with traction engine. separator
and tank. drawing Superior grain drills and
cider mills made by the Superior Drill Co..
of this city. Then came mowers, feed
grinders and other agricultural implements
too numerous to mention. Two bands of
music enlivened the occasion. and there
were two wagons of children singing as
they went while hundreds of men and boys
rode Oh all the machinery they could find
room TO sit or stand upon. Thousands fol
lowed the procession along the streets, and
il was really remarkable sight
When the procession halted speech was
delivered by Adam Long, esq. who de
scribed 4 recent visit Ia Springfield and lis
manufacturing establishments. He took up
each Springfield firm represented in tie
procession. and commented on the shops,
the goods and the marvellous business
achievements of the Champion City. Many
of the manufacturing companies furnished
handsome banners for display in the pro
cesSion, the finest of these being one in
blue and gold by the Superior Drill Co.
Prominent among the Springfield firms rep
resented were the Springfield Engine and
Thresher Co. Springfield Fertilizer CO..
the FoOs Manufacturing Co., and the
Superior Drill Co. The wares of all these
Springfield firms were nicely finished and
well displayed, and taken in connection
with the attractions of the show, on the
same day, all conspired to make last Satur
day truly red letter day for Jackson.
